Ha! I hope that a LOT of democrats come out in support for him, show these “insiders” that the people have been waiting for a candidate that they can trust. It is one thing for a candidate to say what you think are the important things, but it’s another for a candidate to stick to his word. Even people who might not agree with everything a candidate does stand for can appreciate honesty. You know what they WILL stand for and that they will not lie to you, which is the current situation in the beltway. These politicos think that the people expect them to lie to them and they can get away with it.

GWB was a big exception to the rule that, going back to Goldwater, GOP contenders never get the nomination on the first try. But he had his father’s contacts to rely on, to fundraise and strategize for a national campaign. And the Bush name is an illustrious one, even to the point that Jeb Bush is automatically a contender for the GOP nod despite the disastrous poll numbers GWB racked up as his presidency ended. Cruz is pretty much out there on his own.

Remember, the average low info voter will vote on looks, and “What can you give me?” instead of who is the most qualified.
I remember the Kennedy-Nixon debates from 1960.
Those who heard the debate on radio realized NIXON wiped the floor with Kennedy.
Those who saw it on TV saw a Presidential Kennedy and a Shifty NIXON.
ROMNEY failed because of ONE thing. He is a Mormon.

He's been there before. It doesn't seem to bother him and he seems to relish the fight.
Like I said before, he's already proven he can win the fight when he is the underdog.
Don't count him out!

These are the same insiders who brought us the Romney campaign, and the asinine image of asshat Karl Rove protesting the Ohio call on Election Night 2012.
Hundreds of millions of dollars flushed down the toilet in an effort to beat an eminently beatable incumbent, and after royally screwing-up they want us to take them seriously? Pah!
We’ve tried things their way for how many cycles now? These “insiders” can sit and spin.
To: SoConPubbie
I would have liked it better if he had run against George P Bush and knocked *him* off.

Jebster, he’s the designated loser this time around.
The Democrat in an R jersey that we’re supposed to vote for or we’re electing a Democrat.

GOP "insiders": GHW Bush, GW Bush, J Bush, K Rove, G Norquist, E Schmidt, C Christie, M Murphy, J McCain, J Boehner, M McConnell, J Baker, C Krauthammer, etc.
If we follow the advice of these guys, we are doomed to defeat.

I am not a GOP insider and I do not think Cruz can top 15% if that. Walker has a much better chance and he is no where near as divisive.

Watch and see.
It's either CRUZ or a DemocRAT !
No one else in the GOP can muster the base in the General.
And most of them will muster votes AGAINST them in the General !
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" have taught us that sometimes we must clean our OWN PARTY FIRST, before we can win.
We had that
"DemocRAT In Disguise" DEFEATED IN THE PRIMARY, until HE CHEATED !

“Insiders” are out of touch with the GOP conservitive base, this is to be expected.
